The Society of Dance History Scholars (SDHS) is a professional organization for dance historians in the United States and worldwide. Founded in 1978, it became a non-profit organization in 1983. SDHS has been a member of the American Council of Learned Societies since 1996, and hosts an annual conference, publishes conference proceedings and a book series, and presents awards to new and established scholars.
SDHS includes scholars in musicology, anthropology, history, literature, theatre, performance studies, and other fields. Many members combine research and performance, and SDHS welcomes graduate students, as well as more seasoned scholars, among its members. The society also contains several working groups, which meet at the annual conference. SDHS has close ties with its peer organizations such as the Congress on Research in Dance (CORD).
